The primary objective of a risk awareness training program is to enable risk-based decision making, which means making decisions that take into account the potential risks and opportunities associated with each option. A risk awareness training program should aim to develop a common understanding of risk across multiple functions and business units, achieve a better understanding of risk for competitive advantage, and build safeguards against earnings-related surprises1. A risk awareness training program should also cover the basics of risk management, such as the risk management process, the roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders, the risk appetite and tolerance of the organization, and the tools and techniques for identifying, analyzing, evaluating, and treating risks234. A risk awareness training program should also include practical examples and case studies to illustrate how risk management can be applied in different scenarios and contexts5.

Explanation:
Risk transfer is the practice of passing risk from one entity to another entity. In other words, if a company is covered under a liability insurance policy providing various liability coverage for information security risks, including any physical damage of assets, hacking attacks, etc., it means it has transferred its security risks to the insurance company.
Incorrect Answers:
B: Risk acceptance is the practice of accepting certain risk(s), typically based on a business decision that may also weigh the cost versus the benefit of dealing with the risk in another way.
C: Risk avoidance is the practice of not performing an activity that could carry risk. Avoidance may seem the answer to all risks, but avoiding risks also means losing out on the potential gain that accepting (retaining) the risk may have allowed.
D: Risk mitigation is the practice of reducing the severity of the loss or the likelihood of the loss from occurring.

Explanation:
A trigger is a warning sign or a condition that a risk event is likely to occur within the project.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Issues are events that come about as a result of risk events. Risks become issues only after they have actually occurred.
B: A contingency response is a pre-planned response for a risk event, such as a rollback plan.
D: A threshold is a limit that the risk passes to actually become an issue in the project.

The most important outcome of a business impact analysis (BIA) is understanding and prioritization of critical processes. A BIA is a process that identifies and evaluates the potential effects of disruptions or disasters on the organization's business functions and processes. A BIA helps to understand the dependencies, interrelationships, and impacts of the business processes, and to prioritize them based on their importance and urgency. A BIA also helps to determine the recovery objectives, strategies, and resources for the business processes, such as the recovery time objective (RTO), the recovery point objective (RPO), and the minimum operating requirements (MOR). The other options are not as important as understanding and prioritization of critical processes, although they may be part of or derived from the BIA. Completion of the business continuity plan (BCP), identification of regulatory consequences, and reduction of security and business continuity threats are all activities or outcomes that can be supported or facilitated by the BIA, but they are not the primary purpose or result of the BIA.
